which weight to enter of the bumbells weights used for a workout

I need some clarity on which weight to enter when I use dumbells for a workout. For example, if I do a dumbell bench press using a pair of 10kg dumbells, I tend to enter 10 in my garmin connect app (or the watch). Is that correct or I should enter the total weight 20kg?

Connect will generate a "total weight lifted" for each workout so I think it makes sense to use 20kg. I've had a similar dilemma when I've set up something which is one-handed and, of course, my watch only senses movement of one arm.

Same question!!!!

The Garmin Strength Coach will direct me to do:

20lbs Dumbbell Bench Press

20lbs One-handed bent over row.

Is that a 20lbs dumbell in each hand of the bench, or two 10lbs dumbbells?

....a bug I reported is the Garmin Strength Coach actually says "do a 18.4 lbs One-handed bent over row"

What? the amount needs to be in increments that make sense with dumbbells/barbells.
